Broken down hearts and refrigerators
Thursday, May 18th, 2006
I will come to you
if you don’t mind this mess
Cause I have brushed up my act,
but I’m still an orphan trying to look her best
There’s been talk all over town
about the one who fixes the broken down
I will come to you
if you don’t mind my unfaithfulness
Cause I have put my hand to the plow,
but my spirit was barely in it
There’s been talk all in these parts
about the one who warms the coldest hearts
Alathea - ‘Broken Down’ 
People ask us, “So you’re from East Tennessee, do you have a refrigerator on your front porch?” We say, ” Well, maybe.” We’ve actually decided that it’s a pretty smart idea - put all your broken stuff out on the porch, and just maybe someone will come by and fix it. And maybe we shouldn’t stop there but put the broken things in our heart out, so when the Healer comes through town, He’ll know to stop by. When Jesus was here on earth, people went even further - they carried the sick into the marketplaces or wherever He was. “And all who touched Him were healed.” - Alathea
